Michael Lazarus works with a variety of materials, using carefully crafted color choices, pattern, and a vocabulary of pared down imagery to create paintings with a dynamic and powerful presence. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Amsterdam and Montreal; his work has been written about in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Art in America, Art News, and Flash Art among others.
At MacDowell, he began a new body of work, with little prior planning or development. The paintings produced and started implemented his established vocabulary of images and gestures, and focused on a process of editing with white and ways of expressing movement with paint.
